Actor Arjun Rampal recently shared insights into the hurdles he faced during the initial days of his career, highlighting moments of financial hardship and self-doubt. In an interview with Pop Diaries, Rampal delved into his journey from being a successful model to making his acting debut in films.
Rampal reminisced about his role in the 2001 film “Moksha,” directed by Ashok Mehta and starring alongside Manisha Koirala. He candidly admitted to disliking himself on screen during the filming of the movie, leading him to reevaluate his career path. This period marked a transition for Rampal as he shifted focus from modeling to pursuing acting, despite facing uncertainties and financial constraints.
Describing his struggle, Rampal revealed, “I had no source of income in that period of time.” He recalled living in Seven Bungalows, Mumbai, and shared a heartfelt anecdote about his landlord, who showed understanding and patience during times when Rampal couldn’t afford the rent. This support, according to Rampal, played a crucial role in navigating the challenges of those early days in the industry.
Rampal’s journey in the entertainment industry has been marked by a blend of successes and challenges. His most recent film, “Crakk,” released on February 23 this year, showcases his versatility as an actor. Directed by Aditya Datt and featuring a talented ensemble cast including Vidyut Jammwal, Nora Fatehi, and Amy Jackson, “Crakk” explores the journey of a man from Mumbai’s slums to the world of extreme underground sports.
As Rampal continues to evolve as an actor and artist, his reflections on past struggles serve as a testament to resilience and determination in pursuing one’s passion amidst adversity.
